Oh, the other reason I developed this workflow was because at the time,
lilypondtool didn't exist, the lilypond editor became woefully inadequate and
the texshop solution was frustrating in its lack of tools. Also, while it does
require much reading, so does lilypond, and so we're clear, lilypond was the
very first thing I tried to run in the command line, before that, I had no
idea. A year or two later, I was writing my own syntax hilighting definitions
for nano! I say that to say that even a noob can learn it.
